Sun Sweeper (Lilligant-Hisui) @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll

Adamant Nature
- Solar Blade
- Close Combat
- Triple Axel
- Victory Dance / Swords Dance / Synthesis


[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Lilligant has a niche on sun teams, thanks to its fantastic Speed tier under the sun and a good combination of moves that can let it sweep teams. Triple Axel is chosen as its coverage move, threatening Pokemon that resist its STAB moves like Hydrapple, Sinistcha, and Latios. Victory Dance increases Hisuian Lilligant's damage, bulk, and Speed in one move, allowing it to survive revenge killing attempts from Pokemon such as Lokix. Swords Dance is a different setup move that increases Hisuian Lilligant's damage output much more in exchange for less Speed and bulk, notably enabling it to OHKO the likes of Latios with Triple Axel as well as Skarmory with Close Combat, along with Stealth Rock chip damage. Synthesis is an option to heal Hisuian Lilligant if setup is not desired, helping to offset Life Orb recoil. Life Orb increases its damage output to help it reliably OHKO the likes of Metagross and Tinkaton with Close Combat at +1. Tera Fire grants Hisuian Lilligant a resistance to Fire-type moves from Skeledirge and Talonflame, Triple Axel from Weavile, and Moonblast from Fezandipiti; Tera Ghost prevents Hisuian Lilligant from being revenge killed by priority moves of Hisuian Arcanine, Conkeldurr, and Keldeo; and Tera Ice boosts Triple Axel's damage and lets it OHKO Donphan and Mandibuzz at +1.

Hisuian Lilligant can only be used on sun teams, so a sun setter such as Ninetales or Torkoal is a must-have. Ninetales provides Healing Wish and Encore support to grant Hisuian Lilligant setup opportunities, while Torkoal can set up Stealth Rock and remove entry hazards with Rapid Spin. Heatran and Hisuian Arcanine answer Pokemon like Skarmory, Lokix, and Skeledirge, while they appreciate Hisuian Lilligant's ability to threaten Keldeo and Sandy Shocks. Mandibuzz is a good teammate, since it removes hazards with Defog; switches into attacks from Latios, which is a huge threat for sun teams; and can safely pivot in Hisuian Lilligant with U-turn, while it appreciates Hisuian Lilligant's ability to check Pokemon like Tyranitar, Weavile, and Rotom-W. Venusaur is a common partner, since it can punch holes in opposing teams while answering the likes of Skarmory, Scizor, and Tinkaton. Hisuian Lilligant also appreciates having pivots due to its mediocre bulk, so the aforementioned Mandibuzz, Slither Wing, and Sandy Shocks are ideal. The last is also able to set up hazards and threaten defensive Pokemon such as Fezandipiti and Skarmory.

Alright, all done with writing this. It has been a while since I played UU and written an analysis in general, so I know mistakes are inevitable, so I only ask that you guys are a bit more forgiving towards my mistakes.

Hisuian Lilligant has a niche on Sun teams, thanks to its fantastic speed tier under the Sun and having a good combination of moves that can let it sweep teams. Triple Axel is chosen as its main coverage move since it threatens Pokemon that resist wall its STAB moves like Hydrapple, Sinistcha, and Latios. These mons do not want to switch into either Close Combat or Solar Blade, so I just say they resist Lilligant's STAB moves. Victory Dance is a great set up move that increases its damage, bulk, and speed in one move, Swords Dance is a different set up move that increases Hisuian Lilligant’s damage output much more in exchange for less speed and bulk; Synthesis is another option to heal H-Lilligant if setup is not desired and helps to offset Life Orb recoil. Life Orb is a solid option to increase its damage output to help it reliably OHKO the likes of Hydrapple, Heatran, and Tinkaton at +1. Tera Ice boosts Triple Axel damage, mention how you can OHKO Donphan and Mandibuzz at +1 with Tera Ice, Tera Fire grants Hisuian Lilligant a Fire, Ice, and Fairy resistance while being immune to burn, improving its matchups against Skeledirge, Weavile, and Talonflame, and Tera Ghost prevents it from being revenge killed by the likes of Hisuian Arcanine, Conkeldurr and Keldeo from their priority moves.

Hisuian Lilligant can only be used on Sun teams, so sun setters such as Ninetales and Torkoal are a must-have, Ninetales provides Healing Wish support while Torkoal can set up Stealth Rock and remove hazards with Rapid Spin. Heatran and Hisuian Arcanine answer Pokemon like Skarmory, Lokix and Skeledirge, while they appreciate Hisuian Lilligant’s ability to threaten Keldeo and Sandy Shocks. Mandibuzz is a good teammate since it removes entry hazards with Defog and it can safely switch it in I was a little bit confused on this part, I think you mean that Mandibuzz can safely switch in Lilligant through U-turn? while it appreciates Hisuian Lilligant's ability to check Pokemon like Tyranitar, Weavile, and Rotom-W. Hisuian Lilligant also appreciates having pivots due to its low bulk, so other pivots like Slither Wing and Sandy Shocks are appreciated, especially since they benefit from the Sun that Hisuian Lilligant is always paired up with. Mention the aforementioned Mandibuzz as one of the pivots.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse...
Also, yes I did mean Mandibuzz switching in Lilligant, but I realized that it wasn't clear so I changed it anyway by just replacing "it" with Hisuian Lilligant and switching the name's placement with in.

Tera Ice boosts Triple Axel damage and OHKOs Donphan and Mandibuzz at +1, while Tera Fire grants Hisuian Lilligant a Fire, Ice, and Fairy resistance while being immune to burn, improving its matchups against Skeledirge, Weavile, and Talonflame, resistance to Fire-moves from Skeledirge and Talonflame, Triple Axel from Weavile, and Moonblast from Fezandipiti, vague type mentions aren't advised and Tera Ghost prevents it from being revenge killed by the likes of Hisuian Arcanine, Conkeldurr and Keldeo from their priority moves. Tera Ghost was mainly used because of Tera Blast, would remove it.

Hisuian Lilligant can only be used on Sun teams, so sun setters such as Ninetales and Torkoal are a must-have, Ninetales provides Healing Wish support and Encore to provide Hisuian Lilligant with set up opportunities, while Torkoal can set up Stealth Rock and remove hazards with Rapid Spin.

Mention how Venusaur is often accompanied with Lilligant and appreciates it to punch holes and take down each others named checks. Hisuian Lilligant also appreciates having pivots due to its low mediocre i wouldnt say its bulk is low bulk, so pivots like the aforementioned Mandibuzz, (RC) as well as Slither Wing and Sandy Shocks are appreciated, especially since the last two benefit from the Sun that Hisuian Lilligant is always paired up with. the latter is also able to set up entry hazards and threaten defensive Pokemon such as Fezandipiti and Skarmory. removed that part since it was kind of filler fluff & not a lot of syngery

Implemented! I'm keeping Tera Ghost because preventing revenge killing attempts is really valuable for a sweeper, plus while I don't usually like to use usage stats as a reason, at 1760+ GLICKO in UU H-Lilligant uses Tera Ghost about 40% of the time, compared to Fire's 41% and Ice's 7%. Plus in the set itself it runs Tera Ghost but no Tera Blast (set was updated in September 1st of this year) which i'll use the image as proof, and I want to stick to the moves/items as much as possible while removing the completely unnecessary/bad options (I got permission from OceanicGamer to do this)

Anyway, GP Team this has got through the 2 QC checks and I briefly checked this with almost 0 errors spotted (corrected the ones I found), so might as well

No approval yet. Please implement this check, then let me know when you're ready for another once you've taken care of the Venusaur sentence.

All done implementing! I added more on the Venusaur part, reason why I didn't before is because they semed to beat really similar stuff (which I now realize is not fully the case). Feel free to check a second time a blue banana
